The flexible mains lead is supplied connected
to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13
amp capacity.
Should this plug not fit the socket outlets in
your home, it should be cut off and replaced
with a suitable plug, following the procedure
outlined below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other
appliance and should therefore be properly
disposed of and not left where children might
find it and plug it into a supply socket - with the
obvious consequent danger.
N.B. We recommend the use of good quality
plugs and wall sockets that can be switched off
when the machine is not in use.
IMPORTANT: the wires in the mains lead fitted
to this appliance are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead
of this appliance may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and yellow
must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter E or by the
earth symbol or coloured green or green
and yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L or coloured red.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands
of wire are securely retained in each
terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains
lead clamp on the plug. If your electricity
supply point has only two pin socket outlets,
or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require
replacement, it is essential that this operation
be carried out by a qualified electrician and
should only be replaced with a flexible cord
of the same size.
After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse
cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the
plug must not be used until a replacement cover is
obtained. The colour of the correct replacement
fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base
of the fuse recess or elsewhere on the plug.
Always state this colour when ordering a
replacement fuse cover.
Only 13amp replacement fuses which are ASTA
approved to B.S. 1362 should be fitted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN
55014 regarding the suppression of radio
interference.
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product corresponds with
the main voltage in your home, if you are in any doubt about your supply contact your local
electricity company.

• As with any electrical appliance, whilst the
instructions aim to cover as many
eventualities as possible, caution and
common sense should be applied when
operating your fryer, particularly in the
vicinity of young children.
• Before use check that the voltage power
supply corresponds to the one shown on
the appliance data plate.
• Only connect the appliance to electrical
sockets which have a minimum load of
10A and which are properly earthed. (If
the socket and the plug on the appliance
should prove incompatible, get a
professionally qualified technician to
replace the socket with a more suitable
one).
• Do not place the appliance near heat
sources.
• Do not immerse the deep fryer in water. By
getting inside the water would cause
electric shocks.
• The appliance is hot when it is in use. DO
NOT LEAVE IT WITHIN THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
•Hot oil can cause serious burns. Do not
move the deep fryer when the oil is hot.
•Never touch the viewing window when
frying as it becomes very hot.
• To move the appliance, use the special
lifting handles “K”. (Never lift by the
basket handle).
• The deep fryer must only be switched on
after it has been filled with oil or fat. If it
is heated while empty, a thermal safety
device comes into operation which stops
it from working. In this case it is
necessary to contact our nearest
authorised service centre to replace the
device.
• If the deep fryer leaks oil, contact the
technical service centre or staff authorised
by the Company.
•Wash the following carefully before using
the deep fryer for the first time: the fryer
bowl, the basket, the lid (remove filters)
and the oil saving set (J, P and Q) with hot
water and washing up liquid. Also flush
through the oil drain tube with hot
water and washing up liquid, rinse with
hot water, then dry carefully when this
has been completed.
• The materials and objects likely to come
into contact with foodstuffs conform to EEC
Directive.
• The drainage pipe must always be closed
and placed in its compartment while the
appliance is in use.
• Using the appliance for the first time may
result in minimal smoke. This is normal
and disappears in few minutes. The room
must be ventilated.
• Children or
infirm persons
should not be
allowed to use
this product
unsupervised.
• Children
should not be
allowed to play
with this
appliance.
•Do not allow
the cord to
hang over the
edge of the
worksurface where it may be grabbed by
children or become entangled with the
user. Do not use with an extension cord.
• If it is necessary to replace the power
supply cable, be sure to use a H05VVF
cable consisting of three 1 mm
2
wires. The
replacement cable must be in compliance
with current safety legislation and must
have the same diameter as the original
cable.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Before use, check that the mains power supply corresponds to the voltage supply indicated
on the appliance.
• Before use, wash the bowl the lid (remove filters) and the basket using hot water then
carefully dry the bowl.
•Never switch on the fryer before adding oil or fat. If the fryer is operated without oil or fat,
a thermostatly operated safety device interrupts the operation of the appliance. In this case,
it is necessary to contact one of our authorized service centres before re-using the appliance.
FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT
• Raise the basket to the highest position by pulling the special “B” handle upwards (fig.1).
The lid should ALWAYS be closed when the basket is raised and lowered.
• Open lid “D” by pressing button “V” (fig.2).
• Remove the basket by pulling it upwards (fig.3).
• Pour into the container 2.2 litres of oil (or 2 kg. of fat).
WARNING
The level must always be between the maximum and minimum levels indicated.
Never use the deep fryer when the oil is below the “min” level as it could cause the thermal safety
device to come into operation; to replace it you need to contact one of our service centres.
Best results are obtained by using a good quality oil. Avoid mixing different types of oil. If you
use lumps of solid fat, cut them into small pieces so that the deep fryer does not heat up in the
first few minutes without a covering of fat. The temperature must be set to 150°C until the fat has
melted completely. The required temperature can then be set.

STARTING TO FRY
1. Put the food which is to be fried into the basket, without ever overfilling it (max. 1.25 kg. of
fresh potatoes).
If cooking food from frozen, make sure very little ice is included (see frying frozen food).
2. Put the basket into the fryer bowl in a raised position (fig. 3) and close the lid by pressing
lightly down upon it until the hooks click. Always close the lid before lowering the basket in
order to avoid hot oil from splashing out.
3. Set thermostat knob “U” to the required temperature (fig.4). When the temperature set has
been reached, signal lamp “T” will switch off.
4. Never touch the viewing window when frying as it becomes very hot.
5. As soon as the signal lamp switches off, immerse the basket in the oil, lowering the handle
slowly after sliding the handle’s slider back “C”.
• It is completely normal for a considerable amount of very hot steam to rise out of filter cover
“F” immediately after this.
• At the start of cooking, immediately after the food has been immersed in the oil, the internal
wall of viewing window “E” (where present) will steam up, before progressively clearing.
• It is normal for drops of condensation to form around the basket handle while the appliance
is working.
IN THE MODELS FITTED WITH THE ELECTRONIC MINUTE TIMER
Set the cooking time by pressing key “O”; display “N” will show the minutes set.
The figures will begin flashing immediately afterwards, signifying that the cooking time has
started. The last minute will be visualised in seconds.
In the event of error, the new cooking time can be set by keeping the key pressed down for more
than 2 seconds. The display will reset itself, then repeat the process again.
The minute timer will show the end of the cooking time with two series of beeps at an interval of
about 20 seconds. In order to switch off the audible alarm you only need press minute timer
button “O”. The minute timer can be attached to clothing by the clip.
WARNING: the minute timer does not switch the appliance off.
Replacing the minute timer battery
• Remove the minute timer from its compartment (fig. 5).
• Remove the back cover by screw driver (fig. 6).
•Turn the battery cover (fig. 7) placed on the back in an anticlockwise direction until it is
released.
• Replace the battery with another of the same type.
• Reassemble the minute timer.
If the appliance is to be replaced or thrown away, the battery must be removed and disposed
of in accordance with the current laws as it represents an environmental hazard.
GB 11-02-2003 12:12 Pagina 8
AFTER FRYING
When the cooking time runs out raise the basket and check if the food has reached the required
golden colour. In the models fitted with a viewing window this check can be carried out by
looking through the window without opening the lid.
If you consider the cooking to be finished, switch off the appliance by turning the thermostat
knob to the “OFF” position until you hear the click of the internal switch.
Allow the excess oil to drip off by leaving the basket in the deep fryer in the raised position.
Note: If the cooking needs to be done in two phases (e.g. potatoes) raise the basket at the end
of the first phase and wait for the signal lamp to switch off again. Then immerse the basket back
in the oil for a second time (see enclosed tables).
FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT
We recommend that you carry out this procedure each time you have finished frying especially
when the food has been breaded or floured. The food particles tend to burn if they remain in
the liquid thus causing much quicker deterioration of the oil or fat.
Check that the oil is cool enough, waiting about 2 hours.
Bring the deep fryer towards the edge of the work surface (fig. 8). To avoid the appliance
falling when filtering the oil, keep the lid in the appliance in the open position and be careful
that feet “M” are always inside the area of the work surface (fig. 8).
1. Pull frame “R” outwards (as in fig. 9)
2. Place oil container “Q” without the lid ”J” in the special compartment (fig.10).
3. Remove the basket.
4. Open door “Z” (as in fig.11).
5. Insert oil filter ”P” onto the container (fig.11)
Never empty the deep fryer by tilting it or turning it upside down (fig. 12).
6. Extract drainage pipe “S”, remove plug “L” while at the same time squeezing the pipe
between two fingers to avoid the liquid coming out until it has been positioned above the
filter (see fig. 13).
7. Flow the oil into the oil container “Q”. Pinch the oil drainage pipe “S” between two fingers
to regulate the flow and avoid the oil leaking out of the openings “X” (see fig. 19). These
openings are provided to prevent the oil overflowing from the filter tray if it drains too fast
or the filter is clogged. In this case, filtering will not be optimum. If the oil is particularly
“dirty”, be careful to ensure that it does not overflow from the filter.
8. Reposition the pipe in its compartment after replacing the plug and close the door.
9. Lift out the container and replace lid “J” in order to ensure better preservation of the oil for
future use.
10.Reposition the frame “R” as at the beginning.
* In the event of solid fat or lard being used, be careful not to let it cool down too much or
it will solidify.
REPLACING THE ANTI-ODOUR FILTERS
With time the anti-odour filters placed inside the lid lose their effectiveness. A change of colour
in the filter, visible through hole “A” of fig.14 on the inside cover, shows that the filter needs to
9
GB 11-02-2003 12:12 Pagina 9
be changed. To replace it, remove plastic filter cover “F” (fig.15) by pressing hook “H” in the
direction of arrow 1, then raise it in the direction of arrow 2. Replace the filters.
N.B: The white filter must rest on the metal part (fig.16) and the coloured area must face
upwards (towards the black filter).
Reassemble the filter cover, being careful to insert the front hooks correctly (as shown in fig.16).
Do not run the appliance with exhausted filters as this could cause bad odours and obstruct
the steam.
CLEANING
Before cleaning, always remove the plug from the electrical socket.
* Never immerse the deep fryer in water or hold it under the tap. By getting inside the water
would cause short circuiting and electric shocks.
After having appropriately allowed the oil to cool for about 2 hours, empty out the oil or fat
as previously described in the paragraph headed “filtering the oil or fat”.
Remove the lid by pulling it gently frontwards (see arrow “1” fig. 14) and pulling upwards
(see arrow “2” fig. 14).
Do not immerse the lid in water without having first removed the filters.
To clean the fryer bowl, proceed as follows:
• Clean the fryer bowl pan with hot water and washing up liquid, then rinse and dry carefully.
It’s a good idea to place the fryer on the sink drainer with the hose draining into the sink. A
jug of hot soapy water and soft brush can then be used to clean the fryer bowl, with dirty
water draining into the sink (fig. 17).
• In order to clean the inside of the drainage pipe, use the pipe brush supplied (fig. 18). Never
use the pipe brush before extracting the drainage tube.
•We advise regular cleaning of the basket, with care being taken to eliminate any deposits.
•Dry the outside of the deep fryer with a soft, damp cloth in order to get rid of splashes and
any little dribbles of oil or condensation.
• Clean and dry the seal as well in order to avoid it sticking to the fryer bowl when the product
is not in use. (To open the lid in the event of sticking, you only need to raise the lid by hand
while at the same time keeping the opening button pressed down).
• After washing, dry thoroughly. Remove any water left in the bottom of the container and, in
particular, inside the oil drainage pipe. This avoids dangerous spurts of hot oil during use.
• The basket “B” and the oil saving set “J”, “P” and “Q” can be washed in a dishwasher.
MODEL WITH NON-STICK BOILER PAN
To clean the boiler pan use a soft cloth with a neutral detergent never use abrasive detergents.

COOKING HINTS
HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS
The oil or fat must never go below the minimum level. From time to time it is necessary to renew
it completely. The length of time the oil or fat lasts depends on what is fried.
Food in breadcrumbs, for example, contaminates the oil more than simple frying.
As for all types of deep fryer, the oil deteriorates if it is reheated several times! Therefore, even
if it is used and filtered correctly, we recommend replacing it completely fairly often.
We advise that the oil be completely changed after every 5/8 uses or it should be completely
changed in the following circumstances:
• unpleasant odour
• smoke when frying
• oil becomes dark in colour
HOW TO FRY CORRECTLY
• It is important to follow the recommended temperature for every recipe. If the temperature is
too low, the fried food absorbs oil. If the temperature is too high a crust quickly forms on the
outside while the inside remains uncooked.
• The food which is to be fried must only be immersed when the oil has reached the right
temperature, i.e. when the signal lamp goes out.
• Do not overfill the basket. This would cause the temperature of the oil to drop suddenly,
resulting in fried food which is too greasy and not uniformly fried.
•When frying small quantities of food, the temperature of the oil must be set lower than the
temperature indicated to avoid the oil boiling too violently.
• Check that the food is thinly sliced and of even thickness, as food which is too thick cooks
badly on the inside, despite looking cooked, while food of an even thickness reaches the
ideal cooking point all at the same time.
• Dry the food completely before immersing it in the oil or fat, as wet food becomes soggy after
cooking (especially potatoes). It is advisable to bread or flour food which has a high water
content (fish, meat, vegetables), being careful to remove the excess bread or flour before
immersing it in the oil.

•Frozen foods have very low temperatures.
As a result they inevitably cause a
considerable drop in the temperature of the
oil or fat. To achieve a good result, we
advise you not to exceed the quantities
recommended in the following table.
• Frozen foods are often covered in ice
crystals which must be removed before
cooking. This can be done by shaking the
basket. Then immerse the basket very
slowly into the frying oil to avoid the oil
reboiling.
The cooking times are approximate and must be varied according to the initial temperature of
the food which is to be fried and according to the temperature recommended by the frozen food
producer.

CAUSE
The anti-odour filter is saturated.
The oil has deteriorated.
The cooking liquid is unsuitable.
The oil has deteriorated and causes too
much foam.
You have immersed food which is not
sufficiently dry in the hot oil.
The basket has been immersed too
quickly.
The oil level in the deep fryer is over the
maximum limit.
Oil temperature is too low.
The basket is over loaded
The deep fryer has previously been used
without oil in the fryer bowl, causing the
thermal safety device to break.
REMEDY
Replace the filters.
Replace the oil or fat.
Use a good quality sunflower or
vegetable oil oil.
Replace the oil or fat.
Dry the food well.
Immerse it slowly.
Reduce the amount of oil in the
fryer bowl.
Select a higher temperature.
Reduce a food quantity.
Contact the Service Centre (the
device must be replaced).
WARNING: Before immersing the basket, check that the lid is firmly closed.
(*) This is the recommended quantity to achieve excellent frying. It is naturally possible to fry a larger amount
of chips, but you should bear in mind that in this case they will end up being a little greasier because
of the sudden drop in the oil temperature at the time of immersion.
